What Bleach arcs are filler?

The filler arcs are: The Bount (Episodes 64–91), The Bount Assault on Soul Society (Episodes 92–109), New Captain Amagai (Episodes 168–189), Zanpakutō: The Alternate Tale (Episodes 230–265), Beast Swords (Episodes 266–272), Tōjū Shōtai Hen (Episodes 273–279), Zanpakutō Rebellion Continuation (Episodes 280–287), Gotei 13 Invading Army (Episodes 317–342).
